After changing avatars, you must go to the launcher’s settings and click “Clean Temp Files” at the top.

This mod will let you change traders’ nicknames and avatars.

The novel difference from other avatar-swapping mods is that it uses trader nicknames instead of obscure avatar IDs that don’t match the trader ID. By default the name should be in your system language but this can be changed in config/lang.json. You can find language codes in SPT_Data/Server/database/locales/; the value for English is en, Russian is ru, etc.

Instead of using a trader’s nickname you can use either their regular ID (for compatibility with Windows filename restrictions) or avatar ID (to easily switch from other avatar-switching mods).

Both features of the mod should work for custom traders as long as this mod loads after them.

I’ve set up a (very) basic configuration page for anyone who’d rather use it than edit the JSON by hand. When “uploading” a config, it is read in the browser and not actually sent anywhere.

Setting Trader Names

Edit config/names.json and add a new line between the {} in the format “Default Name”: “New Name”.

The key (left) should be the trader’s default nickname/ID like Prapor or 54cb50c76803fa8b248b4571, the value (right) is what you want their new name to be.

Examples:

{ “Prapor”: “Sidorovich” } { “Prapor”: “Sidorovich”, “Fence”: “Drebin” } You can also change the trader’s information like Location and Description.

Valid keys for this extended syntax are “FullName”, “FirstName”, “Nickname”, “Location”, and “Description”. All are case-sensitive.

{ “Prapor”: { “Nickname”: “Sidorovich”, “Location”: “Rookie Village in the Cordon”, “Description”: “A reliable source of equipment for stalkers.” }, “Fence”: “Drebin” } ### Setting Trader Avatars

Name an image based on the trader’s default nickname/ID like Prapor.jpg, 54cb50c76803fa8b248b4571.jpg, or 59b91ca086f77469a81232e4.jpg and put it in the mod’s avatars folder.

Images should be JPEG or PNG and sizes around 500x500 work best.
